You know guys, I like smudgers work so much that I think I will Just wait with watching the s02 of the show until I ll have watched his movie fanedit, So I could watch it without any spoilers and then watch the show as an extended version 🖖🏼
You probably shouldn’t. Some of the stuff that Smudger cut from season 1 will seemingly be important in season 2, so you should watch the actual show first.
Time will tell, but I don’t think I cut anything crucial. I suspect sufficient exposition will be given in season 2.
Well, from what we’ve seen so far, Mando will have to return to Tatooine at some point, and they’ll probably bring the events of episode 5 into it. Also, it seems like the blue guy from the opening scene of episode 1 will be making a return.
Somewhere he’s been before and someone he’s captured before. Can be sorted by an opening crawl reference, flashback or simple exposition. There weren’t any crucial plot points left open.
Fenic being alive could be simple to explain, but if Peli Motto returns and recognises The Child, that will be harder to explain away since plot gaps have been taken out.
I still think the cuts were necessary, but someone should still watch the full season one before going into season two. Alternatively they can wait for a second film (and potentially a second version of this edit) if those plot points wind up needing more screen time (might be a subplot that gets cut from a second film/season edit anyway).
